Been along time need help

[fbcoach9534]

I have not been on a ski in 20 years and I am a big guy weighing 260. I used to be able to get up on one and now I cannot even get up on two. I start up then legs spread quickly. Any tips on how to get up would be appreciated!!!

Re: Been along time need help

keep your knees bent and squat low, you may need to strengthen the inner thigh muscles, they will be sore for a while till you do, start out low and work your way up, it may look a little funny with your butt almost hitting the water, but you will be able to work your way up to a more stylish stance once you get the hang of it, then once you get good at that try dropping a ski to go to solo ski

Also, what kind of boat are you getting up behind (length/horsepower), how long are your skis?
